[MPICH] mpiexec error message when using -localonly - Who has permissions for the reg key ?

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Can you check the permissions for the registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH\SMPD" ? 
(Type regedit to open the registry editor. Explore the keys - right click on
the key name mentioned above and click on "permissions")

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,

I did not installed MPICH2 ...
I just copy smpd, mpiexec and the dll and execute smpd -install.

I copy/paste the error message completely.

Regards,
Etienne
